Every Way to Love You

There are many ways we can express our love for someone, and it's often the smallest ways that mean the most. The somewhat melancholic mood of Every Way to Love You – originally titled Thinking of Every Way to Love You – is a reflection on this idea.

A new electric piano and an eagerness to use its sound served as the impetus to start this composition. The beginning of the piece was built around two chords, afterwhich the bass and drum parts were added, followed by the acoustic piano melody and other instrumental sounds. To contrast the subdued tone I wanted a stronger statement near the end so added a powerful electric guitar solo. However, the piece returns to its forlorn mood and finishes with just an acoustic piano. Ironically, the electric piano that was essentially the starting point for this piece was replaced with a different electric piano in the final production presented here.
